“Dano is a supurb, intelligent, creative, and patient Instructor. I’d put him up against the best any day. Given Dano’s character, and back round, I had high expectations going into a shooting course under his instruction; my expectations were far exceeded.”

“Dan, I wanted to let u know how much I appreciate all your training and help. I really had an awesome time yesterday. Not only was it fun, but I learned a tremendous amount. I have been wanting to get involved in this type of work for 20 years. I am so grateful that you have now made this possible. I never thought it was possible, but then you were gracious enough to invite me to your home, and offer me just a small piece of your tremendous knowledge in all areas of law enforcement. I not only feel like I have the best instructor, but that I also now have made a friend that I have alot in common with. I really am very comfortable around you, and that really is very important in instructing or coaching. I think we can both agree that some things are just predetermined, and this is one of them. For the first time in 15 years, I am really looking forward to being happy with what I am doing, and you made it possible. I can only hope that I can qualify to be part of Northwest, as I am sure it will be the number 1 training facility in the country. I will do whatever it takes to get there, and if I am given the opportunity, I will represent Northwest in a professional manner at all times.” -Steve T “I just wanted to express my gratitude, I not only enjoyed learning and re-learning but you had great patience with me and that I truly appreciate. I am going to look at the website and schedules to start to at least to get some techniques down of protecting my family and I without a weapon. Then when I get my FOID, I will get a used weapon from you. I already made up my mind when it comes to doing business with you and training with your programs. Thanks and take care.” -Jose “I have had the pleasure of knowing “Dan” as a friend, fellow entrepreneur, and professional Marine Corps Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) and in each capacity he has my utmost confidence and respect.” - Mr. Craig Tingle, Joint Task Force Six Area Commander “I am writing to tell you about a friend of mine.
